Parameters

While thresholds are only numeric values, parameters can be lists of numbers or strings. Parameters represent the instances you want to monitor or a limit you do not want your resource to exceed, depending on how you define this setting in your script. Parameters display in the IBM Tivoli Monitoring windows.

Within the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Resource Model Builder, you can define default values and let another user customize the settings in the IBM Tivoli Monitoring profile. When you specify the parameters, choose from the following types of lists:

Note:
Regardless of the type of list you choose, IBM Tivoli Monitoring Resource Model Builder displays the list content in the script as either a numeric or string list.

Boolean list

In Boolean lists, specify parameter values that you can consider (select as TRUE) or ignore (select as FALSE) during monitoring. For example, if you are monitoring Windows EventLog, but only want to monitor two event types out of five available, enter all five event type names and select each as TRUE or FALSE.

Choice list

Choice lists define mutually exclusive parameter values. These lists can contain several values, but you can use only one of them at a time. For example, you can provide your resource model with two types of filters: AND and OR. You can insert both filter types in the choice list on the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Resource Model Builder, but you can select only one of them at a time.

Numeric list

Numeric lists define numeric parameter values, such as event IDs. When you use a numeric list in the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Resource Model Builder, the output you receive is a simple list.

String list

String lists define string parameter values, such as application names. When you use a string list in the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Resource Model Builder, the output you receive is a simple list.
